Biography
Jaroslav Petrovich Belikov was born in Leningrad, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union (St. Petersburg, Russia) in 1972, and he became an enforcer for the Russian Mafia during the early 1990s. During the mid-1990s, he moved to New York City to work for the Faustin crime family as an enforcer, and he was hired to serve as one of Vlad Glebov's bodyguards, working as the partner of Dobromil S. Vanzin. One day in the spring of 2008, Vanzin, Belikov, and Glebov spent time together at the Comrades Bar in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, sharing jokes about potatoes and cabbage. Niko Bellic and Roman Bellic interrupted their conversation by demanding that Glebov stay away from Roman's girlfriend Mallorie Bardas, whom he had been trysting with behind Roman Bellic's back. Glebov, amused by Bellic's audacity, sent Belikov and Vanzin to usher the Bellics out of the bar. However, Bellic pulled out a shotgun and proceeded to gun the two henchmen down.
